Still waiting for more confirmation. I'm here in Minneapolis and my MN Wild friends are already jumping up and down. With Parise and possibly Brodeur to the Wild, they're now trying to convince me to become a Wild fan. I had to explain to them 20 times over that's not how it works. I also explained that it would be nice if the Wild didn't have to raid the Sabres, Preds and Devils just to field a competitive team.

If Brodeur does indeed leave, I came to terms with it a while ago. If Marty leaves than it's because he wanted to go. Plain and simple. I respect his decision, and it certainly does not make the Devils a bad franchise or are they at fault on this.

At a minimum, the title of this thread is misleading. Is there really any value in posting every single speculative post any random beat writer puts out? I hope it's not true, but if it is, lets just wait for a credible source to actually confirm it. Is there even an author behind this particular article?

That's the best part - they quote the New York Daily news, yet I don't see anything sourced from them.

I don't make a habit of refuting reports, but there's no indication inside the Wild that this Martin Brodeur story is true and No NHL GM is going to risk a trade to let somebody play one more ceremonial game in front of fans, risk injury and ruin trade. - Mike Russo (Beat Writer for the Wild)
